Why Attend WAICF 2027?
Two days. One agenda. Everything you need to accelerate your AI strategy in 2027.
WAICF 2027 is where Europe's enterprise AI leaders come to move beyond planning — into decisions, connections and deployments that deliver real results. Here's what you'll find when you arrive.
⚡Enterprise AI. Built for Decision-makers
WAICF is built for senior enterprise leaders. Every session, track and conversation is designed around one question: how do you deploy, scale and govern AI in a real organisation?
You'll hear from executives who've done it and leave with frameworks you can apply immediately.
🌍The European perspective
With EU AI Act implementation underway, European enterprises are navigating compliance, competitive positioning and AI investment decisions simultaneously.
If you're building an AI strategy for a European organisation, this is where that conversation belongs.
📍The Cannes effect
There is no event venue in Europe like the Palais des Festivals. Surrounded by the Mediterranean, minutes from Sophia Antipolis — one of Europe's leading technology hubs — Cannes creates the conditions for conversations that don't happen in a standard conference centre.
The setting is not incidental. It's why the right people come, and why they stay.
